    No.4 with unusual serial number

    There's a guy selling a very nice looking No.4, I assume English, that went through the FTR process. The receiver and bolt both bear the seral "X0026". The pics I've seen so far shows a pretty nice rifle, walnut stocked, brass butt plate and micrometer rear sight. I've never encountered a serial number like that though. Any input would be appreciated.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    "found" the rifle you were looking at, it is a 1942 BSA (B under the safety) that went through FTR at ROF Fazakerley
